I just built up a Sekai 2400 which I believe is a 1983 model, double crank and regular diacomp brakes. I find it compairs favorably to my 1983 Trek 500. The Tange 2 frame is a very nice frame set. As mentioned above the triple and cantilever brakes make it very desirable. I find Canti's are a much better brake than the Diacomp 500's common in this era. You would pay double that for a comparable Trek or Schwinn.
